Elisabeth Neumann

Sexologist Elisabeth Neumann was born in 1992 in the heart of Berlin, where she was deeply influenced by the city's rich history of sex-positive and queer-friendly underground culture that dates back to the 1920s.

This early exposure shaped her commitment to sexual education, and soon she found herself working with teenagers and young adults. She took her expertise to various festivals and events, advocating for safer sex, fostering consent, and addressing related issues faced by adoloescents.

Her passion for the field deepened as she delved into reproductive justice, working with organizations like pro familia—the German counterpart to Planned Parenthood. Her journey led her to join WowTech (now part of Lovehoney Group) in 2018, where she initially worked in the Innovation Team, focusing on research. Today, she managers the User Research Team at Lovehoney and oversees a global tester community comprising more than 13,000 members. In 2026, she was interviewed by The Times about the complexities of this research, which is often challenged by the gaps in sex education.

Elisabeth firmly believes that knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their life and bodies. She's particularly interested in investigating the 'blind spots' in research around sexual behaviour, primarily due to a historical lack of funding in the area. For Elisabeth, the highlight of her work at Lovehoney is delving deep into these gaps to question, research, and most importantly, to understand the intricate 'whys' of human behaviour.
